Forecasts

Smart Connection (5/4), Aiguillette (4/1), Zefferino (9/2), Kodimoor (9/1), Cayman Moon (12/1), Smart Qibili (20/1), Grandstand (20/1), Crazy Spin (22/1), Emulate Rose (40/1), Glen Rosa (50/1), The Mehmas Touch (50/1), The Simple Truth (125/1), Tara (150/1)

SMART CONNECTION broke his duck in convincing fashion at Lingfield a fortnight ago and looks capable of following up on that evidence. Zefferino and Kodimoor make most appeal of the opposition, especially the former who pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up on his latest outing at Bath.
